   is being used.  Failure to do so may cause the devices being
   upgraded to fail or the system to crash.
 
2. The new FCode will not take effect until the system is rebooted

   be visible until after the system is rebooted or power-cycled.

   and the FC100 is not connected to an FC-AL loop, they upgrade
   time will be 42 minutes not 5 minutes.

--------------------------------
 
1. General guidelines for upgrading: 
 
        STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the
        firmware upgrade process.
 
	UPGRADE the HBA (FC100/P Host Bus Adapter).
        Follow the given instructions in the procedure section below.
 
 
2. Procedure: 
 
The procedure to be used for upgrading the FCode firmware is
explained below. Upgrade time will be approximately 5 minutes
per host adapter card.
 
a) Copy the patch into any directory, say <patchdir>.
   (Note, if the patch ends in a "tar.Z" suffix, you will need to first
   uncompress and untar it.)  So, you would type:
	% su root
	# cd <patchdir>
        # uncompress <patch tar file>
	# tar xf <patch tar file>
 
b) In the patch directory (109399-03), as root, type the "flash-upgrade"
   command:
	# ./flash-upgrade
